We recognise that we need to change our behaviour to respond to the impacts of climate change; we need to adapt the way we live, work, build and travel. Adaptation needs to be built into planning and risk management now to ensure the continued and improved success of business and communities in the future.

Rising global temperatures will bring changes in our weather patterns including increased frequency and intensity of extreme weather (flooding, heat waves etc). Rising sea levels and more rapid coastal erosion will result in more frequent coastal flooding and eventually a new coastline.

We are launching a series of activities, events and competitions to ensure everyone is aware of how the Island will change and what they can do to prepare, events will be of interest to individuals, communities and business. Watch this space for more information call 01983 296244 or email us.
